When This Bell Rings Quotes

“It's nothing special to be real...The world is full of people...They're all real, but in a hundred years, how many do you think will be remembered? Barely any. But if I say the names Peter Pan, Matilda, Pippi Longstocking, Alice, Oliver Twist, Eeyore or Paddington Bear, you know exactly who I mean, don't you? Some them more than a hundred years old. None of them real, but each of them remembered. Cherished. Loved. So loved. That's real. That's more real than anything - to exist in people's hearts is to live forever.”
― Allison Rushby, When This Bell Rings

“The thing is, I've been thinking a lot about before. The time before the first thing I remember. Before didn't hurt. I don't think this will hurt, either. My ending, I mean. I'll just 'not be' again, I suppose.”
